I had to make a quick trip to Florida this week for work and when I got back late last night, I wanted to grill something with minimal prep and short cooking times. I found this recipe in Chris Lilly's masterpiece, Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book, and it fit the bill.

Plus, I already had some of the white BBQ sauce already made up from the weekend.

If you want cross hatch marks, give the breasts a quarter turn while on each side.

"Baptize" the chicken. Flip it on both sides to cover it.

If you don't want to make the white BBQ sauce yourself, you can order it from Big Bob Gibson's ($4.75). Speaking of the Alabama style sauce, Brian of Hot Sauce Daily mentioned that he likes it but Marilyn doesn't. It is one of those things you either love or hate, not much middle ground. If you like tangy flavors like Carolina style vinegar sauces, you'll love white BBQ sauce.

Recipe Rehab

The first YouTube series to become a network TV show debuted recently and it is a food show.

Recipe Rehab from BetterEats.com is a show that takes a family and their favorite recipe and then two chefs (rotating basis, not always the same two) go head to head to "rehab" the recipe to make it healthier. Kind of like I did with the white BBQ sauce by swapping the mayo out for Green non-fat yogurt. Then the family takes those recipes, makes both versions and selects the winner.

If you want to see a little behind the scenes action, check out THIS POST at Steamy Kitchen. Everyone's favorite food blogger, Jaden Hair, is on a few episodes of the show. And check out THIS POST from Harry Soo of Slap Yo Daddy BBQ whose family was also on an episode.

I'm not familiar with baptizing chicken, but it sure looks good. I like the vinegar based BBQ sauces, so thanks to you, I now know I would enjoy this white sauce. Looks like I see some black-eyed peas too. Yum.

I guess I'm going to have to try this white bbq sauce. That chicken looks so good Chris. And what a great idea for a youtube series and I'm sure it will make a good show. I'll have to check out the links when I have time over the Holidays. Yay for two 4-day weekends in a row.

Great post and I will definitely try your version of the Alabama White Sauce. I have Chris Lilly's book and as you know,he alludes to the fact that it is not the true recipe for the white sauce. I have tried Lilly's recipe and even the jarred sauce (tasts like preservatives)and didn't care for them. What I like best is Meatheads version. Check it out.
